[wellylug] Debian and latest XFree86

[Andrew Garrett]

This is not an answer (as such, but it might help).

Stable is for paranoid (you know, professionally so) people to run on
servers.  Testing is fine for workstations.  Unstable is for people who
don't mind so much if things break once in a while, or who only dist-upgrade
when they know they have a few spare hours to fix anything that breaks.

IMNSHO, the debian distribution labels are a tad misleading - I tend to
think of them as Stable = Rock Solid, Testing = Stable, Unstable = Still
Pretty Damn Stable.

Or, to say it more simply - I think you'd be fine with Sarge.
